Abstract
A passive bus system for decentrally structured multi-computer systems, particularly multi-microcomputer systems, allows execution of a bit-serial information exchange between the individual computers of the system achieving the bandwidth required for high transmission speeds with simple and reliable means, capable of decentralized monitoring and control. Exclusively optical transmission means is employed for all data exchange operations in a communications level shared by all of the function units of the multi-computer system, exclusively decentralized control devices are individually allocated to the function units for control of the bus system seizure.
